My husband is an avowed vegetable hater, but I have no trouble getting him to eat this easy to prepare dish. Good for company too.

Ingredients

1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
½ (2.2 pound) wheel Brie cheese, sliced
¼ cup butter, melted
½ cup dry bread crumbs
¼ cup toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place asparagus in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still crisp, about 2 to 6 minutes. Drain and place in a shallow baking dish.
Lay cheese slices over asparagus. In a small bowl combine melted butter, bread crumbs and sesame seeds. Sprinkle over cheese.
Bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes.
Increase oven to broil. Broil just until breadcrumbs are golden brown.
